Life in the Clearings versus the Bush is a memoir written by Susanna Moodie, a British author who immigrated to Canada in the 1830s. The book describes her experiences living in both rural and urban areas of Canada, comparing the challenges and advantages of each. Moodie writes about the difficulties of clearing land and building a home in the bush, as well as the isolation and harsh living conditions that came with it. She also discusses the cultural differences between Canada and Britain, and the challenges of adapting to a new way of life. In contrast, Moodie describes the comforts and conveniences of living in the clearings, where she had access to markets, schools, and social events. The book offers a unique perspective on early Canadian life and the struggles of immigration, as well as the joys and hardships of pioneering in a new country.The native-born Canadian regarded with a jealous feeling men of talent and respectability who emigrated from the mother country, as most offices of consequence and emolument were given to such persons. The Canadian, naturally enough, considered such preference unjust, and an infringement upon his rights as a native of the colony, and that he had a greater claim, on that account, upon the government, than men who were perfect strangers. This, owing to his limited education, was not always the case; but the preference shown to the British emigrant proved an active source of ill-will and discontent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
